Pros

Benefits, time off, salary is competitive when hired on, most of the employees are good to work with and supportive.

Cons

Been with Linde 5 years and it used to be fun. With the Prax merger deal, it's changed the attitude of how the business in operated. Linde has forced decades, possibly centuries, of tenured staff out the door. Bureaucratic management ideologies. Implements ridiculous requirements for how the location should run their operation with no understanding of the locations demands, 1 + 1 doesn't always equal 2. KPI’s change every month and usually get communicated months after the fiscal year started. We received our incentive goals around June last year, then was changed in September. There’s a bonus, but it seems the company finds a way to manipulate the requirements where most employees fail to earn their full amount. Willing to cut throats to save a nickel, while increasing the workload on all other staff members. Don’t expect a competitive increase when being promoted to a larger location. Can barely change a light bulb without it being an entire episode of work permits and control procedures. They force their vendors in to joining some scam compliance review company, which the vendors have to pay $500-1000/yearly. Expects the managers to jump in a moments notice, and usually ends up becoming a hurry up and wait moment. They preach safety (pro), but when it comes to the contract carriers it’s trying to find the one who can do it the cheapest, even if their safety record is crap.

Pros

I did not see any pros working for linde

Cons

terrible upper management, No loyalty to employees. Lay off hundreds of people just because 1 upper manager felt like it. engineers work like slaves. management do not care that you have a family and life outside the company. they think that they own you. if you have plans on a weekend and a plan trips guess what you are canceling your plant and driving 8-9 hours to that plant. its not a job for someone who want to have a family and have less headache.

Pros

Some of the employees are great - management and HR - terrible

Cons

They have the worst trainers, outdated software, a HR department where the women there are self absorbed and genuinely could not care less about employees, or any of their concerns. Exit interview was a joke, did not want to hear what I had to say, even went as far to say that I did not know what I was talking about and then she proceeded to let me know how great they were. People have been leaving the Company and they say, they have no idea why.......because HR refuses to listen or report what is said at exit interviews
